Congratulations, Laura!!

Good point, Tracy K!

Fingers crossed for your mom, Tracy KS! + you're doing so great w/the LC'ing!! Yay you!

Haydee -- sounds like so much fun w/your sisters!

PamEla -- Too funny about the furniture -- I agree!

Judy -- This is the funniest phrase I've read in a long time: "fiber one pop tart" BA Ha Ha! Is that supposed to make them sound healthful??

Guess what guess what guess what??!! Over the river and THROUGH THE SNOW -- my Secret Santa package arrived today! Can you guess who sent it (the "through the snow" part should be the BIG, DEEP, SNOWY clue) -- JUDY!! Yay!! I didn't know if I should open it, so I thrust it into dd's hands and said "Quick! Go put this way, way under the tree so I'm not tempted!!" So we'll see how long THAT lasts!!

I'm off to the PTA fundraiser pick-up (in the pouring rain)... it's cookie dough & cinnamon Buns, etc... have to carry out the boxes to people's cars... oh what fun... I'm making ds come with me! I am evil. See what fun you can have w/your kids, Laura?

Make it a great eve, Vi's!

Hello everyone

Laura - Congrats!

I am glad you are feeling better Jane

I made it to the dr today, and after being crazy waiting for over an hour in the room, thinking the worst, he comes in, tells me my gall bladder is only fuctioning at 40% and when do i want to have it out? We can do it now... we can schedule when i want to do it or wait until i have another attack, which could be any day, or 6 months... I told him i prefer not to do it on an emergency basis so I'm scheduled for Jan 16 for surgery unless I have an attack and it will come right out.

I'm going to make eggs and see if i can eat those. My lock on my potty was frozen so i didn't really eat or drink today

Yup I'm having kids just so they can do my dishes & mow the lawn :wink:

Some schools around here closed early, we have a lot of flooding rain and it was suppose to get cold.. I didn't think to look at the thermostat in Russ' car.. it was 40 this morning, but it's gotten a LOT colder since then.

Careful waiting Jenn, an attack can turn bad..

I was looking at nursery room stuff, can't decide.. just don't go "OH I LOVE THAT" with the boy's stuff like I did with the girl's stuff.

hmmm, I had Macy so I could send her to the store for me when she gets older :) lol

Jenn-all I could stomach eating when I was having gall bladder trouble was egg sandwiches, seriously. I became addicted to them. Glad to hear that you have a date to fix the problem.

Judy-you crack me up, seriously....

Still no check. I am sure it will be a few more days and until then my life is pretty much on hold and I hate that. Oh well. I will be patient. :wink: Thanks everyone for all the Christmas cards!

Pamela-did you get one from me yet? I used your street address and not the PO Box.

Terry-how was your hooky day from work? Have any fun?

Have a great evening all. Oh, here is a cute pic I thought I would share...

Hey gang~

I am writing ch. 5 now (can't freakin believe it) but wanted to pop in for a min.

Tracy, I did get your card today! Sooo funny...I loved reading all 99 things, esp. about choc!

Sus got hired on as a sub for the school district. We are SOOOO excited...just to get her foot in the damn door took 3 months! She interviewed on Tuesday and expected to hopefully get called after the holidays...but got called back today by HR! Even if it is just a sub position...she will learn the ropes, meet many (all) principals and get to know all sites. Once she gets all her "ducks in a row" she should be good to start mid Jan! YEAH!!!

OK...back to writing. Waiting for Sus and the in laws to return from San Diego...then we will go celebrate!

xoxoxoxo

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
